OK . . . but if no charges were pressed, should we hold it over his head forever? (If you're hinting that you think the athletic department "made it go away," I really don't think that's how it works these days.)

No, i'm not suggesting that at all... just using common sense to think that given the situation, he (as should we) should be sensitive to the incident. I'm not getting into the accusation business.

But, if you think that coverups no longer happen, you're naive. Law enforcement may not be involved in cover ups, but cases do get dropped. Again, not saying it happened or happens here. I hope it doesn't.

I'm curious: do you always feel this way when someone is arrested but then all the charges are dropped? Or do Michigan football players warrant some extra level of suspicion even if the courts disagree?

The "think of brunette girls" thing is obviously a silly joke intended to loosen the kid up before his field goal in the bowl game. There is no reason to draw anything beyond that. Honestly, if you read something sinister into that, I think that may say more about you than about the poster.

The courts didn't agree nor did it disagree... it didn't get that far.... many cases like this don't. Like I said, not commenting on the issue itself, just commenting on how insensitive the comments were. I'm going to drop it, because apparently no one else agrees- which baffles me. I'm also baffled that MGoBlog sells t-shirts referencing it. But, I guess that's like, my opinion then, man.

Also, I'd love to reverse the question: What would be your reaction had this happened to an MSU player?

The photos themselves were good, but what makes them GREAT are the moments you caught. The Kovacs INT, Lewan/Mattison, Hawthorn getting chewed out, Denard's shoe mid air, the Denard to Gallon almost-game-winning-TD. Really enjoyed the set, it captured the essance of the game. Job well done, keep up the good work.
